The above well known and long estab-
lished specialists will be at 81 NORTH
MAIN STREET, Los Angeles, from Sep
tember 10th to the goth, 10 days only, where
all who are suffering from nervous debility,
chronic or complicated diseases, sperma-
torrhea, impotency, loss of manhood, pre-
mature decay, and all complaints resulting
from youthful folly, abuse and excesses Of
maturity, or badly treated cases of special or
private nature, will be afforded the oppor-
tunity to consult with these celebrated
specialists. Consultation free and private.
The Liebig Dispensary for the treatment OF
eases has been established in San Francisco
for nearly quarter of a century. The Dis
pensary building occupies the entire corner
of Geary and Mason streets, San Francisco,
and is the only Medical and Surgical Insti-
tute on the Pacific coast that has its own
elegant drug store in dispensary building,
employing registered chemists and scientific
surgical instrument makers to manufacture
the Liebig Dispensary; also to prepare the
celebrated DR.. Liebigs wonderful German
Invigorator. To the marvellous cures and
discoveries made by DR.. Liebig d Co: are due
all the great successes they have had. In
1881 they discovered the complication Pros
tatorrhea, resulting from youthful impru-
dence and excesses OF maturity, or unsk1ll-
fully treated cases of a special nature, that
from time immemOrial had prevented thou
sands from being cured of nervous debility,
physical weakness and unnatural losses
from the system. DR.. Liebig 4 Co. use every
successful remedial agent known to modern
scientists favoring the school of Homeopathy
and Eclecticism, taking from the Allopathic
all that is useful, and adapting surgical in
struments to the various ailments and de-
formities, attaching to appliances, magnet
ism and electricity. Successful treatment
guaranteed in all cases or no fees required.
SURGICAL BRANCH.
The doctors will give personal attention to
diseases OF the Chest, Head and Throat, Ca
tarrh, diseases of the Liver and Kidneys;
also deformties requiring surgical applian-
ces. Balance of treatment conducted from
the Liebig Dispensary, San Francisco, Cal.
N.B.-On account of the rapidly increasing
practice in San Francisco, this will be the
doctors last visit to Los Angeles.

WARLIKE NEWS.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, June News
from Honolulu brought here by the
steamer Australia, shows that the gov
eminent there has been searching for and
detaining arms on the ground of public
safety. 1t is claimed that the people
have become eyasperated at the Kings
action in fortifying the palace walls and
taking IN supplies of ammunition there,
and that the American and British resi-
dents have appealed to their respective
governments for protection, and asked
that man Of war be ordered to Homo
lulu. II was even stated that the revolu
ton had begun. Rev. DR.. j. a. Cruson,
who has been in Honolulu several years
said: "When lett Honolulu on the 7th,
The plac was in 2 condition Of seething
discomfort, but the King hadinot been de-
POSED. WhaJ has occurred since OF
course ] don't know, nor Go l believe
anyone else has any accurate Information.
Everybody on the island had agreed
that some change ought and must at
once take place IN the mode of govern
menJ. The Chinese have been erming
themselves of late with rifles and revolv-
ers. A rife corps has also been organized
by the white population of the islands
nominslly fer the purpose of target pTac-
tiCe. The Chinese are the most discoI-
tented people in Honolulu. There are
two Chinese companies there. One paid
the King $4,000 for opium monopoly,
$4,000 for which was turned over to the
treasury and the remaining $780, was
retained by His Majesty. The
other company also paid
70, 900 to the impecunious King. During
the reign of the fourth King of Kane
hamehus bill was presented to him for
approval by which regular civil gov
eminent was to be established. In fury
he tore the document containing radical
innovations into pieces, remarking as he
did so that he would rave no msn in
Honolulu bigger than himself. OF the
%, 600 inhabitants of the capital about
5000 are white. During my stay on the
island wes pastor of the Fourth Street

the principal churches st which English
and Americans attended. l have come to

SHARP'S TRIAL.
Some Sensational DeveIopmo nts Made Yes
terday.
morning.

some Sensational DevGlOpm ontS Made Yes
terday.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Sharp trial
was continued this morning, with Thomas
B. Brown Oh the stand. Brown testified:
know Alderman Fulgraff, and was book
keeper for Reid & Cormack in January and
February, 1885. At that time 1 received
$500 from Fulgr2ff.
Several witnesses were examined with
out eliciting anything interesting. Then
came a sensation, away from Albany.
Sharp'S counsel fought against it as irrel-
evant, the counsel for the state having
made known its teLor; but the court
decided to admit it on the ground
shat, though not entirely connected
with the charge in the trial, that of the
bribery Of Fullgraff, it was competent to
show Sharp's methods. The witness on
the stand vas Willism L. Potle, the en-
crossing clerk in the assembly in 1888.
His best recollection Of the general rail
road bill that year was that it passed the
assembly with the Broadway and
FIFTH Avenue Road in, and came
back from the Senate without
it. While the bill was in his possession
as engrossing clerk, the witness con
tinued, he was told that Sharp wanted to
see him. He went to Sharp's room in the
Delavan Honse and found him alone
Did you have any Conversation with
him, and did he ask you as TO whether the
bill did or did not include the Broad
way? asked Nicoll.
Yes, sir, was the answer.
State ell said on the subject
He said there were some words ne
wanted inserted in the bill. | think the
words were the "the Broadway and Fifth
Avenue Railroad" He said if | would
insert the words he would go down stairs
and deposit $4,000 with Clerk Baldwin
When l refused he said; "Well, you don't
eem TO take that proposition very kindly
and | will make you another. If you go
bring me the original copy OF the bill l
Will give you S5OOO" l told him | could
not entertain his proposition.
Mr., POtle was Cross-examined by Stick
ney. When asked why, SIS officer of the
